About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs since I was about 10 years old. Growing up, we frequently had both cats and dogs in the house. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for about 2 years before working there for 1 year. I have pet sat for a family every summer for the last 8 years or so and I also worked at a pet boarding place 1 summer. I'm currently working part-time so I will absolutely have time to take care of your pet! I can stay overnight and take care of a pet, and only work an average of six hours a day so I still have plenty of time to spend with a pet! I spend a lot of time hanging out with and getting to know each pet in order to meet their needs. I can play, walk, and feed pets as well as just be a calming presence if that is helpful for them.
About: I have years of both personal and professional pet care experience. I have volunteered at a veterinary hospital and owned multiple pets over the years. I work full time from home and my schedule is flexible around the needs of my day. I have ample opportunity to care for pets. I provide everyday care for my current pet. I also live right next to a park with ample activity space for you favorite pet’s walk!
About: Hi! I’m Tania, your local pet lover in the Energy Corridor area 🐶🐱❤️ At this time, I’m offering walks, drop ins, and house sitting during the day and evening hours. While I’m currently unavailable for overnight stays, I’m happy to provide extended house sitting visits to ensure your pets receive plenty of care and attention. Thank you for your understanding! Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I truly love! I’ve spent years working with dogs and cats, helping families with walks, bath time, feeding, play sessions, enrichment, and of course lots of cuddles and belly rubs. I’m a proud dog mom and grew up in a family that love and owned dogs for many years specially bulldogs, so I understand different temperaments and breed-specific needs. I’ve trained all of my own dogs in basic obedience and continue reinforcing positive behaviors daily. As a pet parent myself, I completely understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable leaving your furry family member in someone else’s care and I treat that trust with the utmost care and respect. I’ve also volunteered with rescues and shelters, which deepened my love for providing patience, comfort, and reassurance to animals of all backgrounds. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs a gentle approach, I adjust to their unique personality. And because I love adding special touches with your approval, I can bring your pet their favorite treats or a small toy for our first visit! I also enjoy photography so you’ll receive adorable keepsakes along with exceptional care. I can’t wait to meet you and your sweet fur baby and give them all the love, attention, and tail wagging fun they deserve! At the moment, I’m not available for overnight stays, but I can provide house sitting for extended hours. I’m also available to return the next day as early as the pet parents prefer. My schedule is flexible so it allows me to work around your schedule. I’m available through the week and weekends. Let me know your schedule and I can accommodate it. I first tend to the client’s specific needs for their pet. There are many parks around we can walk and enjoy. I’m always cautious of other dogs around and keep safe distance.
“Our dog, Nella, is thrilled to see Risi for their walks. She has such a good time and gets great exercise. We don't know what we would do without Risi. She is so important to our family.”

About: I genuinely care for every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, and great at picking up on each animal’s unique personality and needs. I have experience with both energetic young pets who need structure and play, as well as senior pets who need a gentler pace, extra comfort, and lots of reassurance. I’m reliable with routines, medications, feeding schedules, and potty breaks, and I always make sure your fur baby feels safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. To make sure every pet has a safe and comfortable stay, I ask that owners please review a few guidelines: • Pets must be friendly with people and other dogs • Please provide food, leash, and any medications needed during the stay • Let me know about any behavioral quirks, anxiety, or special needs in advance • Pets should be house-trained or comfortable with a routine potty schedule My goal is to create a safe and happy environment for every dog that stays with me. I work remotely full-time, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Your pet rarely won’t be left alone for long, and I can easily keep up with their normal routine. I also have a friendly Golden Retriever who loves meeting new dogs, so your pup will always have a built-in playmate. He’s great with both big and small dogs, so pups of all sizes are welcome here. I have a whole open room just for your pup to relax, eat, and play filled with comfy beds, lots of toys, and even doggy pool days in the summer! Dogs are free to roam and explore 24/7, and I don’t gate them off from each other, so they can make friends and enjoy company whenever they like. I also have a large crate in the house for owners who prefer their pup to have one while I’m away. It’s rarely used (only if requested) so don’t worry, your dog won’t be confined unless that’s what you want. I stick to your pup’s routines and rules (feeding, potty breaks, medications) and I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can see all the fun they’re having while you’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Michellee and I am a 4th grade teacher in the Houston Heights! Growing up I was always surrounded by cats and dogs but I mostly grew up caring for dogs. When l lived at my in laws I helped care for two puppers Luna, our energetic and super lovey dovey chihuahua and Misu (a rescue), the independent and energetic terrier mix. Through my experience with our pups and as a current teacher of super active children I am an energetic, observant, and patient person. I love to go for runs and walks so no matter how active the pup, they'll love taking a stroll in the park with me. If your pup has any special accommodations, I'm flexible to work with whatever you need. Due to my occupation my preferred method of contact from 7am-3pm is text messaging. After those times You can contact me via call. I look forward to working with you and your furbaby!

About: Hi! I would love to take care of your special friend! I am home 24/7 so I will be able to attend to your fur baby and give them the love and care they deserve. I currently have a rescue, Savana and she will help me welcome any new friends into our home! I allow dogs in my home to free roam, and they are more than welcome on the furniture and bed. I know canine CPR/ first aid and can administer oral medications. I will go on 4-5 walks daily, either around the apartment complex or the neighborhood. We will also visit the Millie Bush dog park everyday. I do live in an apartment so at this time I will only be able to take small to medium sized dogs.
About: I'm a nurturing, detail oriented sitter. Your cat or dog will be happy and healthy during their stay or visit with me. I will re-create your pet's normal environment to the best of my ability to keep them calm and at ease. I currently work from home, so boarding is an option through the week and/or weekend. For dog walks only, I am available evenings after 6pm. I can help care for your pet in your home, and do any house sitting tasks as an added bonus!

“I cannot say enough great things about Deanna. She is always there for us and loves our fur baby as much as we do. She always goes the extra mile and has been flexible with us when we've needed it. I can't tell her enough how much I appreciate her!”
About: As most typical people, I love taking care of all doggies… the bigger the better. Going on walks and playing is just as much fun for me as it is for them. I work base off your dogs energy, if they just need cuddles and pats I’ll give them all of that! If they’re the more energetic dogs that love running around, I’ll be sure to get their energy out before you come home. Spending time and taking care of dogs is my ultimate at peace moment that fills me with serotonin despite your own dogs needs! 🫶🏼 I work from home and only run a few errands on the weekend for a few hours, so my availability is endless. I am also open to having your little furry ones spend the night or two or however many haha! ❤️ I live in a gated community next to a pet friendly park in a safe neighborhood. I can easily walk around my own community to get all your fur babies energy out, but if needed, there’s lots of areas and parks for me to visit nearby as well! At your own residence, whatever you would like me to do I am more than willing in order to ensure your overall trust and comfort while taking care of your fur babies.
“Javier did a great job with Izzy. She didn’t mind being walked by someone new and it usually takes her a while to warm up to people. Thanks! I’ll be back.”

About: I have grown up around animals, mainly dogs, all my life. With that experience I have watched and raised dogs from the size of a pit bull mastiff to the size of chihuahuas. I also understand the different needs and amount of care each one comes with. I am up to the task of grooming, walking as many times as requested, following feeding schedules, baths, watching, playing, or any other services you wish (as long as I know how). This job is just as serious to me as any other because you are trusting me with not just a dog but a family member and best friend. Trust that when you leave them with me, they will be in great hands! I currently work part-time for a security guard company. I work 4 days a week and I’m off for the other 3 days. I am more than open to taking care of your pet on my off days! I make sure to keep the area that your pet stays in as safe as possible by removing any hazards and cleaning up as we go!
West Houston dog parents share their Rover experiences
Maria is fantastic!! She was able to handle my two large dogs for daily walks and they absolutely loved her. She was very easy to communicate with, and friendly and personable during our conversations. I’m so grateful to Maria for helping me through a very rough time. She made my two dogs very happy while I could deal with personal issues. Thank you Maria!! Daisy and Chestnut send lots of hugs and kisses

Melody was great. I reached out as I needed a a walker while I was out of town. I asked if she can stop by so that she can meet my baby. And she did just that, even took her for a mini walk to see how it would go. And they both did great. She came by and walked by baby without any issues and kept me abreast of everything. I would highly recommend Melody and will definitely use her again. Melody was great! I reached out because I needed a walker while I was out of town. I asked if she could stop by to meet my baby beforehand, and she did just that—even took her for a little test walk to see how it would go. They both did great! While I was away, Melody came by and walked my baby without any issues. She kept me updated the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would highly recommend Melody and will definitely be using her again.

Great experience, this was my first time having someone other than myself taking my pup out and Sheila worked with me on easing into getting to know him and getting him in a comfortable mindset. Sheila is very communicative and reliable and was giving updates when walking him, which I def appreciated. I would highly recommend Sheila!
